Tannen 'Blackout' = Eric Prydz rip-off?

If you've been listening to Nick Warren's latest, you may have noticed a striking similarity between Tannen's "Blackout" and Eric Prydz's remix of "A Bit Patchy." The inspiration is obvious, but I'm reluctant to call "Blackout" a blatant rip-off. The idea of Tannen (Stel and Phatjack), A) creating a track that by sheer coincidence sounds like one the biggest tracks of last year , or B), thinking that they could get away with releasing an obvious copy of one of last year's biggest hits hardly seems plausible to me. The track is obviously a tongue-in-cheek tribute. If it was actually a genuine rip-off, do you really think Nick Warren would have included it on Paris, moreover, signed it to Hope?
